Your car smells similar to most locker rooms (and to you it "isn't that bad"). You keep a pair of trainers, a pair of trail shoes, a pair of spikes and a pair of racing flats in the car, because you never know when a good run or race may break out!

You wear running shorts as underwear b/c they just feel that good.You go and play basketball and you're the guy running in circles pissing the crap out of all of the non runners just for the fun of it.You can pee out of your shorts leg without stoppingYou aim your snot rockets better than most people can aim their handguns

When you're a roadtrip and piss off your friends by focing them to stop so you can run for 50 minutes on the Interstate.

When you go home for the holidays and your parents utter those fatal words: "Son--you look good!" ...Then you have confirmation that you've gotten out of shape and you're f***ed--it's going to be a crappy track season.

You find out you know more about your body's physiiology than most non-sports doctors.

You wonder how much you could make if you could somehow manufacture, package and sell endorphines on the street.

When you plan out your vacations in consideration of accessible trails and possible races.

When you look around and realize how fat and cow-like most Americans really are.

A week later you remember your ex-GF or BF saying: "It's either ME or the running!" Buh-BYE!

... you are a man, you eat all the junk food that there is and still weigh 119 pounds... you dont care when you hug a sweaty girl... you can sit in the cold whirlpool and still hope you will have 15 kids

Ever came to the end of a trail and had to ask a very confused person what town you were in. Know at least three come backs to run Forrest run Ever chased a snoty kid after you had already used up your come backs earlyer on the run.

-your running shoes have mud caked on them permanently.-your shorts and shirts have more holes and dirt spots than the trails you run on.-your running shirts have achieved that "very fine" feel as though they're made of tissue paper.-you own no pairs of cotton socks-your room has the aroma of blown rubber and sweat-you inhale gatorade-you can crap your own bodywieght-you run through people's front yards and get pissed when they plant trees or some other damn thing
